Fairy and features.
Dear readers and fairy enthusiasts, a while ago I decided to make a mosaic of a fairy. Every garden needs a fairy, right? I had never made a mosaic of a human-like form before, so I expected it to be quite challenging. And indeed, it was. It turns out it is difficult to mosaic a tiny face, all of 2sq centimetres, and I made rather a mess of it. Nevertheless, as imperfect as it was, my friend decided she would buy it for her grand-daughter.
I grew to like the imperfections of the little fairy. She was sassy, not classically beautiful in a fairy sense. I think I shall make a fairy mosaic for my own garden one day. I did learn something valuable from making the little fairy. That was, should I ever attempt a face again, I need to make it a little larger. This is all rather a long way of saying that I’ve finished my orangutan mosaic. Finally! The focus of that mosaic is on the facial features of the orangutan. But first the fairy, because I think comparing the two shows a progression of ideas and craftsmanship. And then, you might as well have a sing. Because F is also for Friday.
Kind Regards
Tracy

I thought this was the Easybeats redoing “He’s So Fine” so was a bit perplexed when the music came on. Read, Lois. Read! The mosaic is beautiful, Tracy. Yes, everyone should have a fairy garden. I have a little one in my screen porch. What a love present this will be.

The only Easybeats song that was played on the hit parade in Canada was “Friday on my mind.” Interesting to hear ‘’She’s so fine.”

I’m glad you followed that leap of logic, Sid. From “Friday on my mind” to the Easybeats backtracking to “She’s so fine”. It was one of their early hits. Quite boppy. Not as sophisticated as “Friday”.

Was it a reply to “He’s so fine” by the Chiffons?

Sorry to confuse you, Sid. Another reader had some confusion with the song. But it related to Friday. Weird, I know.

Not confused. The Chiffon’s song was “He’s so fine.” The Easybeats song was “She’s so Fine.” Was one group responding to the other group? A dialogue?

I believe so. Took a while for me to figure that out, but was helped by your comment. 🙂
